French Brie Recalled in Northern Ireland After Listeria Found
Traditional Cheese Company is recalling French Brie sold under its own name and the Dunnes Stores brand after Listeria monocytogenes was found. The 24 June update corrects the date for the company’s own 160g Brie to 10 July only.
What’s Affected
| Product | Pack size | Batch code | Use by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dunnes Stores Velvety & Mild French Brie | 170g | 5099874213772 | 10, 16 or 17 July 2026 |
| Traditional Cheese Company French Brie | 160g | 5099318001392 | 10 July 2026 |
The alert applies to Northern Ireland.
What You Should Do
Do not eat the affected cheese. Return it to the shop where it was bought for a full refund. Listeria can cause serious illness, with pregnant people, older adults and people with weakened immune systems among those at greater risk.
What the Corrected Date Changes
The Traditional Cheese Company 160g Brie is covered for 10 July only. The Dunnes Stores 170g Brie retains three affected dates: 10, 16 and 17 July. Keep those rows separate when checking a pack; applying the Dunnes dates to both brands would misread the updated notice.
The FSA lists a different batch identifier for each product. Compare it with the brand and size on the packaging, particularly if you saved an earlier version of the warning.
Why the Recall Applies to Everyone With an Affected Pack
Listeria was found in the cheeses. Although the FSA identifies groups more vulnerable to serious illness, it asks all customers with the listed products not to eat them. The NHS listeriosis guide explains symptoms and when suspected infection needs urgent advice. If you served an affected cheese to others, keep its pack details and let them know about the alert.
